Note From School Helps Shelton Police Crack Car Dealership Burglaries

SHELTON, Conn. (WTIC Radio) - It was a note from a school, found in a stolen car, that led police to a suspect in a strong of burglaries at car dealerships in Shelton.

On October 26, two men threw a rock through a window at Curtis Ryan Honda on Bridgeport Avenue, stole vehicle key fobs, and then two vehicles, said police. Nine days later, police say a similar crime occurred at Mario D'Addario Nissan, also on Bridgeport Avenue.
